The new restaurant, which replaces Houlihan’s at 550 W. Touhy Ave., opened to the public on Sept. 27 and held a grand opening and fundraising event for the Park Ridge Community Fund on Oct. 3, said Michelle Molise, spokeswoman for Make Room for Truman.

A ribbon cutting with the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce is planned for Oct. 18, she said.

Make Room for Truman’s menu is described as “timeless American fare with an emphasis on slow cooking.” Items include burgers, ribs, steaks, rotisserie chicken and fish, as well as a variety of wines and a rotating “signature dessert” that shares the restaurant’s name.

The executive chef is James Keane who has worked for Four Corners Tavern Group, Redstone American Grill, and Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse, the company said.
